Measures to boost the quality and take-up of higher technical education to help plug skill gaps, including digital, have been announced.
The package of measures aims to establish a system of higher technical education that will deliver high-quality courses that learners and employers can have confidence in, and that will provide the skills they need to succeed. The package includes:
Introducing newly approved higher technical qualifications from September 2022, supported by a government-backed brand and quality mark – qualifications will only be approved where they provide the skills employers need, providing much needed clarity for students and employers.
Working with Ofsted and the Office for Students to make sure the quality of courses is consistently high across HE and FE institutions – building on the Institutes of Technology so students and employers can be confident courses will be high quality.
Launching a new public awareness campaign – working in partnership with employers and careers advisers to showcase the benefits and the wide range of opportunities that studying a higher technical qualification can open up and making sure students get the right information, advice and guidance to make informed choices.
